Ignite Boise brings together an inspiring and unexpected blend of thinkers from business, art, technology, government and academia. All with ideas. And all willing to share them. Be part of it: learn more, get tickets, submit a talk.

Whoa nelly! IB5 submissions are open.

It’s YOUR turn (yes, YOU) to share your burning idea with the rest of us. Here are three immutable reasons why you should submit:

  1. Yes, you DO have an idea
  2. Yes, your idea IS good enough to present
  3. No, it’s really NOT that scary to get up there

OK, so those may not really be strict “reasons” to submit, but you should submit anyway. Do it here. Or here. Or even here.

New Sponsorships Opportunities.

All of us at Ignite Boise are constantly on the look out for ways to improve the event. This go around we’re going to change up how we handle sponsorships.

For the first the time ever our sponsors can create their own 30-second video that will play during intermission. Make them pro. Make them kitschy. Whatever. We won’t judge you. The point is to have fun and get the credit you deserve.

As usual, all proceeds go to off-set the costs of the event.  None of the organizers takes a dime for their efforts.

Standard sponsorship rates are $350. Or you can be a hero and be our venue sponsor – it well set you back $850, but we’ll give you all the love we can muster.

Interested? Got to our sponsorship page to learn more or just drop us a line.

BTW, the whole video thing wasn’t our idea. They’ve been doing it in Portland for awhile now. Check out these examples of what you can expect.

Ignite Boise 4 – a review.

Well, the organizers are preparing to gather to discuss what we learned from IB|04. It’s something we do after each event. And as always, we want your input. This feedback is critical to improving future Ignites. (For example, we added the “public vote” of presentations based on feedback from IB|03.)

We realize that IB|04 including some booing/heckling that is totally out of character for Ignites. Not to mention a couple technical glitches that we had never experienced before…We know those issues need to be addressed.

But what else?
